How to Repair a Luggage Wrapping Machine.

Luggage Wrapper being repaired at Quick Pak Inc. What is a luggage wrapper?

The luggage wrap machine is commonly used in airports to
wrap suitcases, golf clubs, pushchairs & backpacks. These machines have also been sold in other
sectors to wrap single boxes, plastic cartons, televisions ready to recycle and
various other applications.

They have a power pre-stretch film delivery mechanism
fitted, which allows the film to be stretched up to 245%. This will give a significant saving on film
compared to manual wrapping. There is also an easy thread head manufacture for
these machines. The machines that we make use film that is 750mm wide.

Airports - After an item is wrapped it cannot be opened
without your knowledge as the film creates a seal around your luggage. If the
luggage wrap has been damaged or opened then it will be clearly visible to you
because the film would be cut or torn.

In airports across the world, it is believed that luggage is
opened frequently by handling staff. Have you ever wondered if you left your
electric razor in the hotel? - Will they bother to open it if it has been
wrapped?
